Update: New Cover Photo Collage Layout

Update: New Cover Photo Collage Layout

New Cover Image layout.New Cover Image layout.

 Hey hosts,

 

There has been a change in the Cover Photo Preview on your listing page.

Earlier only the main cover image was shown, but now a Collage of the first 5 photos is shown.

 

I love this change. Ideally, you should try to showcase any of the following in the 5 pictures:

1. The Bedroom (most important)

2. The Common areas (Drawing room, Kitchen, Dining room, etc.)

3. The View from the Balcony/Terrace, etc.

4. The Exterior of the House/Surrounding

5. The Washroom

6. Additional Amenities (Breakfast, Parking, etc.)

 

I hope this post helps you. If you have updated the order of your lisitng photos, share a screenshot of your cover photo space layout below in the comments.

 

Cheers!

@Jeet0  I posted about this the day it started to give everyone a heads up to change the order of their photo's to showcase the top 5. I also do like the new layout, but I would have preferred to have been given a heads up about it.

Hey Letti, thanks for sharing your post. I agree and early heads up helps. As far as I remember, Airbnb had sent a notification email before making the change. But I may be mistaken. My memory is challenging me these days.

Wow, @Jeet0 your listing is looking great. I hope you are good. 🙂

 

It is fantastic, you like the photo layout. 

 

Thanks for sharing what you think should be included in the first 5 photos. Did it take you much time, trying this out before concluding this?

Hi Lizzie. I have used Getty Images for this post instead of using images from my own listing as I don’t have proper professional photos yet 🙂

 

It didn’t take much time though. Just some moving around. Trial and Error. 

 

I’ve been good. Hope you’ve been great too 🙂

@Lizzie I  don't see this on my listing so presumably it is not yet happening here.  I have not seen any notification from Airbnb about this, and given that this is potentially such a major update, I would have thought it courteous for them to provide some sort of notification.

Yeah, no alteration on my listing as yet, although I do appreciate the advice @Letti0 and @Jeet0 have given. I will keep an eye on my listing and when the changes hit here I will move my best photos around to take advantage of the new layout!

Cheers.....Rob

How do we enable the new layout?  I don't see it as an option.

@Julie660  You don't enable it. It just shows up. Here's your one listing:

Thank you so much @Letti0 When I look at it, it doesn't look like that, not sure why, but i do like it.  THanks for showing me.

@Julie660  You need to clear your cookie and cache if you are not seeing the updated look.

I wonder if it is in the testing version? One day I can see new layout and another day no. And in my opinion it will be a bit difficult to organize all pictures logically.
